My 93mdl R33 was stolen today from the Doncaster Park and ride. It is a dark grey n/a R33 with a high rear spoiler and 16" BBS Rims (has BBS on the caps). DTM style 3A racing muffler. There is surveilance in the car park and someone present at all times and it was still stolen. Alarm/Immobiliser weren't working, I don't have comprehensive insurance :D Let this be a lesson to all.

Pls let me know if you see any car which looks like mine, contact me on 0403-327-527 (Den).

I suggest:

-You post on every forum you can, wrx, nissansilvia.

-Buy the next issue of the Trading Post and look for skyline parts for sale, wheels etc.

-Contact VicRoads with photos and exact details as they my try and rebirth and re-register the car.

-Look around your area. If they were staking your car out they must live close by.

-Let all the workshops in the immediate area know as they may try and get a roadworthy if they are rebirthing it. This should be easy as there willonly be 10 shops that do RWC in the sorrounding suburbs.

Hey Muc, thanks but too late now! Just in case anyone else with a skyline parks there be careful. I was there after work and they tried to steal a black 96 r33, the fuse cover was missing from teh car and the lady couldn't start it, they had tampered with the car but couldn't steal it. shes lucky she had an alarm & immobiliser. but she had to get the car towed as it couldn't start.

mate i would love to do that, but i don't think anyones going to volunteer their car lol. security is more alert now, so thats a good thing. but in the year since its been open, they've had nothing happen, so its a pretty safe place. now all of a sudden my car gets stolen and this ladies one was almost gone too. i think theres one more skyline which parks there too.

If Park and Ride has cameras and a guard then I bet the guard was in on it?? I know that when I knew a few doggy ppl back in the day, they would team up up with guards in the city car parks and let them have a free run of the joint.

Have you asked to view the tape? It must have caught something, at least exiting the car park. Will keep my eyes open... don't live to far from there also.

    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
    • Right, but I thought the problem has been for a while now that even if you know manifold pressure + throttle position you still have non-linearity and aliasing issues vs actual engine load? One way I can see things simplifying is going DBW, then all air going into the engine is represented by the throttle position. As opposed to a random bimetallic strip vaguely linked to engine temperature opening and closing a shutter or some random power steering air valve suddenly allowing a bunch of bypass air. But the same throttle position/RPM at ~atmospheric MAP in different gears is not guaranteed to be same engine load? Honestly, ITBs are of such dubious value IMO. I don't know why these things are hyped up so much. The main benefit as far as I can tell is you reduce the likelihood of cross-cylinder EGR scavenging with significant cam overlap at idle. I would absolutely run speed density and be done with it if not for this fairly esoteric control problem.
    • Hah dont worry, my adult brain has this conversation every single day. Dont waste your money, invest more of it into shares, pay down the mortgage. Then the bedtime insta doom scrolling begins and after being bombarded with gtr's my mind is set: im definitely getting one! I have the current model mx5 as the weekender, but i just miss my boost and literally like your username, the sututu's that come with it. I remember with my 2nd supra, as it had twins and vvti, they used to spool real early, like 1,500rpm so you could just be a spooly boy all day long. Some people say they get over it after a while, not me tho.
